Sculptures carrying the oral history of Kosovo - with Doruntina Kastrati

#80 – in conversation with Kosovar visual artist, Doruntina Kastrati. Doruntina Kastrati works with oral histories passed down and collected from family or community members or found in the context of the city and geography she lives and works in. She primarily creates  installations and large scale sculpture supported by video and sound through a process of site-responsive research. On the podcast she shares her experience of representing Kosovo at the 60th Vennice Biennale with the extraordinary installation *The Echoing Silences of Metal and Skin* currated by Erëmirë Krasniqi.
